Hello, GTGers. Congratulations to Izidor and Lionel for releasing 0.2.9. :)
I see there is interest in continuing the web interface. I would really like to continue my work on GTG web, because I do miss it. My lack of activity since then was due to my focus on getting a masters degree. I have just finished my final exams last week (yaay!) and I basically have a free semester only to work on my thesis, so I have lots of free time. :) Also, there was the issue of Paul Kishimoto's project from 2010. which wasn't finished, and the web interface depends on it. (well, it doesn't now because it uses a dummy backend, but it needs a proper dbus server) I think there are three options for a functional web interface: 1. Separating GTG to a client-server system with dbus interface between them. I believe that was the original project. 2. Keeping a monolithic GTG with a dbus interface and running the web on top of that - like the web view in Transmission. That means that server needs to run on a desktop computer or that GTG should be modified so it can run in the background without displaying anything. 3. Making the GTG web interface a regular django application with tasks in models. There would be a lot of duplication of work, as the web interface would be a completely separate project. My preferred option would be 2. as it requires the least amount of work - only expanding the dbus interface for the desktop mode. Bit more work for it to work in the background. What do you think?
